I became a cannon fodder villain. If I want to survive, I must take care of my baby first.

"Um, Lady Catherine, Wuchang, are you all okay?" After arriving at Liuguang City, Fan Yin couldn't help but ask the two passengers under his charge with a guilty conscience.

"Alive."

"not dead."

Catherine looked extremely bad, revealing an expression that was even more painful than when she was on the verge of death. Wuchang sat on the ground with a gloomy face, feeling the weight of life.

"Fanyin, promise me that you won't come out and harm others again." Doyle said to her with a smile.

That smile was a little too cruel.

"Ahhhh, I'm really sorry! I didn't expect there would be so many earthquakes along the way!" Fan Yin knelt on the ground and confessed his guilt, almost kowtowing.

The incident started a day ago when Fan Yin was the coachman.

Although she couldn't make the carriage run smoothly like Doyle no matter what the road conditions were, at least there wouldn't be overly bumpy.

However, there were frequent earthquakes along the way, and sometimes just moving normally would pose a risk of overturning the car. But Doyle's driving was extremely steady, forming a sharp contrast between the two sides, which made Fanyin's driving skills seem worrying.

"It's okay, I agreed to your request myself, I don't blame you." Catherine's face was still very bad, even so, she still wanted to comfort Fan Yin.

"Please don't say that. It's a big blow to Fan Yin. She's just a bit worse."

"Your statement is even more extreme, isn't it?"

Wuchang showed a compassionate smile on his gloomy face, which was immediately opposed by Fanyin.

It seems that after getting the Blazing Sound Grass, the burden in his heart was lightened a lot, so that he can joke like now.

As soon as she entered the city, Catherine realized something was wrong: "Why are so many people rushing out? Is there something urgent?"

Returning to her hometown after being away for half a lifetime should have been a time of deep emotion, but as soon as she arrived at the city gate, Catherine discovered something was wrong.

There was a long queue at the city gate. Everyone was carrying luggage on their shoulders and holding large cloth bags in their hands. Some of them brought their families with them. They looked gloomy and did not look like they were going out normally.

"They are seeking refuge." Manjushaka explained, "The current lord, Lady Mekalos, has been targeted by Grusel. She and her subordinates are ready to fight to the death, but before that, they have to let the civilians seek refuge first."

Although I had expected this situation, I still sighed when I saw it with my own eyes. Grusel is really a big trouble.

If I had known this, I should have stopped Catherine from returning home. As soon as she returned to Liuguang City, she would have to leave for refuge.

"So that's it, it's Grusel." Catherine had been in the capital for twenty years and was used to such sensitive news. Even after hearing Grusel's name, she did not panic.

"I advise you to seek shelter as soon as possible." Lycoris radiata said to her.

The fact that Mekalos began to allow civilians to evacuate on a large scale meant that even with the help of the Knights, she still did not have much chance of winning.

As for the shelter, from this direction one can see a large group of people moving towards the city of Tasso, undoubtedly with the help of Senn.

"Let's not talk about this for now. Let's go find Huisheng. Didn't he just step down from office? Logically, he should also seek refuge. If it's too late, he won't be able to see him anymore." Catherine said enthusiastically.

She didn't seem to be frightened at all by the large-scale migration scene before her. The power of love is truly strong.

The guards at the gate were very surprised to see someone entering the city at this time, but after learning of Luo Shiqi's identity, they immediately showed respect.

If the heinous criminals are frightening, then the appearance of Luo Shiqi, who saved the entire Aslan Kingdom from the dragon disaster, is undoubtedly the most reassuring.

Manjushage and her group did not waste any time. After entering the city, they immediately headed towards the Holy Sound Bell Tower where the Knights were stationed.

Compared to the last time I came here, it is obviously a lot more lively, but it is not a good thing for the entire Liuguang City.

I've heard Rujing mention it before, that the bell tower is extremely solid, and even the most powerful destructive magic cannot damage it in the slightest. This has been fully confirmed during Luo Shiqi's battle with the Knights.

Therefore, when it comes to fighting against Grussell, the most suitable strategic center must be this bell tower.

"Excuse me..." Manjushage wanted to find someone to understand the situation, but everyone was busy and no one had the time to pay attention to her.

It took a while before Rujing and Mei Carlos came out to greet them.

"What's the situation?" asked Manjushage.

"It's quite bad." Her beautiful face looked a little tired. It was obvious that she had spent a lot of effort in the past few days to fight against Grusel.

At the same time, Manjushage also noticed that Rujing, who usually dressed plainly, actually put on makeup today, as if to cover up her bad complexion.

"Let me explain the details. Rujing, go and rest first. Don't get too tired."

"Yes."

Considering that most of the things during the alert period in Liuguang City were under the management of Rujing, Meicarlos did not want Rujing to be exhausted.

"There are a few things you may be concerned about, but before I tell you, I want to confirm who these people here are--" She looked at the unfamiliar faces next to her.

"She is the librarian of the Great Library, Catherine, who just resigned and returned home. The two people next to her are Fan Yin and Wu Chang. They are both residents of Tasso City." Manjushage introduced their identities one by one.

Of course, Manjushage knew what Carlos meant.

This is an extraordinary period. Anyone who comes to Liuguang City at this time must not let their guard down.

Therefore, she also listed strong evidence that Katherina and Fanyin were not disguised by Grusel, but she was in trouble when it came to Wuchang.

"Are you saying that you can also use dark magic?" Seeing Manjushage coming, Carlos felt relieved, but when he heard that there was a dark magician next to him, he immediately became alert.

The reason why they were so nervous was entirely because Grussell had the ability to disguise herself. She had faked the voices of Luo Shiqi and Doyle in the clock tower before, so it was even easier for her to change into the appearance of other people.

Wuchang is a stranger, and the total amount of magic power in his body is also astonishing. In terms of his powerful dark magician, it is hard not to think of him as Grusel.

"Is it convenient for me to do a test? It's just to verify your identity." A dignified and steady smile appeared on Carlos' beautiful face, but his tone did not allow for refusal.

"Of course, although it is unpleasant to have your identity suspected for no reason, it is a special period after all, and I can understand it." Wuchang said with a cold smile.

Being able to understand is one thing, and being disgusted is another, otherwise he would not have said the following words.

Mei Carlos gave a look to the guard next to him, and he immediately understood what he meant. After a while, he appeared in front of everyone with the vengeful spirit bound by silver threads.

"After a few days of investigation, we found that the child is particularly sensitive to Grusel's presence. It should be that the monster reacts more strongly to its owner." Mei Carlos explained.

Wuchang nodded and walked to the vengeful spirit as if nothing had happened, teasing it, but it did not cause any reaction.

I have to say that his psychological quality is really strong. Normal people would try to avoid the ugly and dirty appearance of the vengeful spirit, but he did all kinds of actions in front of the vengeful spirit as if nothing had happened, trying to attract his attention.

"Congratulations, Mr. Wuchang, you've been cleared of suspicion." Seeing that the vengeful spirit did not react, Mei Carlos almost breathed a sigh of relief.

After hearing the news, Wuchang felt relieved, but he was not in a hurry to avoid the vengeful spirit.

He paused, then said, "This child seems to be still alive."

As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was shocked.

"Are you saying that this monster with the outline of a human baby is actually a living person?" There was a hint of anger in Mei Carlos's surprised eyes.

The fundamental reason why the king did not carry out a large-scale arrest of Grussell was that she acted in a very principled manner and never harmed innocent people. Although she was nominally a national-level felon, the actual damage she caused was not as much as that of a corrupt official.

Even the number of criminals fought by the Knights combined is not as many as hers alone.

But Wuchang told them that Grusel actually used living babies to refine vengeful spirits!

If we were to talk about Grusel's terrible deeds, we would probably not be able to list them all even if we had a heated discussion for three days and three nights, but the matter of the vengeful spirit was the only thing that was so weird.

You know, no matter how bad Grusel's reputation is or how many rumors there are, her behavior is still much better than some hypocritical nobles who appear glamorous on the surface but do many evil things behind the scenes.

If Grusel had really done such a thing, those people who normally hated her would have spread it widely, and might even have exaggerated it to mean that she used dead human babies to practice forbidden magic.

Even Manjushage, who just stayed at home all day, was often slandered by jealous people. If a national-level felon really committed something, the news would have spread throughout the Aslan Kingdom long ago.

But it was too coincidental that he would appear at this time. Could it be that he really appeared by chance just because of the thunderstorm?
